1.4 Intended Use
The machine with standard dirt bucket is intended to be used solely for work consistent with its design. Such work involves loosening, collecting, transporting, and
distributing soil, rock, or similar materials as well as loading these materials onto
trucks, conveyors, or other methods of transport.
After installation of additionally approved special working attachments, the equipment can be used for corresponding applications.
The operator must follow the enclosed operating instructions for any externally
supplied components or attachments.
Any use varying from that described here or any lack of adherence to the operating instructions, maintenance procedures, or replacement intervals described in
this manual shall be regarded as unintended or improper use. The supplier cannot
be held responsible for any damage resulting from improper use. This risk is
borne solely by the user.
Note: Mulching type brush cutting attachments commonly used on this type of
machine may become unbalanced due to worn, damaged, or missing “teeth”,
causing vibration. If the attachment is operated in this condition, it can cause
metal fatigue and / or cracking in both the host machine and the attachment
itself. Vibration can also cause hydraulic component failure (ex: relief valves).
Mulching type brush cutters also generate more dust and flying debris than other
attachments. The increased particles can plug coolers, radiators, and air cleaners
much faster causing overheat or even engine failure if left unattended. The debris
can also be introduced into many high temperature areas and can become a fire
hazard. Debris should be cleaned frequently from these areas.
Although these mulching type heads work extremely well on Terex machines with
high flow hydraulics, educate yourself on the increased maintenance and operating costs before using this type of attachment.

• Do not perform any maintenance work or repair task that you do not
understand thoroughly.
• Park the machine on firm and level ground in a well lit and well ventilated
area suitable for performing service or maintenance work.
• Disconnect the battery (always disconnect the negative cable first and
reconnect last) and remove the ignition key from the ignition before
beginning work on a machine. Place a Do Not Operate tag across the
opening of the cab to alert any operator that maintenance is in progress.
• Do not work on or under any machine that is supported only by a hydraulic
jack or hoist. Always use mechanical supports to ensure that the machine
will not fall.
• Make sure the work area around the machine is safe and make yourself
aware of any hazardous conditions that may exist. If the engine needs to be
started inside an enclosure, make sure that the engine’s exhaust is properly
vented.
• Be sure all protective devices including guards and shields are properly
installed and functioning correctly before beginning any service task. If a
guard or shield must be removed to perform the maintenance work, use
extra caution.
• Always use the appropriate tools for the work to be performed. Tools should
be in good condition and you should understand how to use them properly
before performing any task.
• When replacing parts or fasteners, use parts of equivalent quality, grade
and/or size. Use original Terex components to ensure the proper form, fit,
and function of replacement parts.
• When performing maintenance work, always wear appropriate safety
clothing for the task to be performed. Some examples might include: safety
shoes, safety goggles and safety gloves.
• Relieve hydraulic system pressure by relaxing all hydraulic actuators prior to
attempting any hydraulic maintenance or repair.
